The children have been on a learning journey full of shapes, measure, and numbers this week  as they have enthusiastically participated in Maths Week Scotland. We have discovered that we can learn about maths anywhere and any time through playful opportunities that have been fun and exciting.  The children have asked lots of questions such as ‘who is the tallest person in the nursery?’ ‘who can jump the furthest?’ and ‘how many numbers will we find on our walk today?’ and they have certainly had fun finding the answers to these questions! Even everyday routines such as eating snack have been an opportunity to discover various shapes and count how many.

I would like to personally thank all parents who met with the inspectors over their two days.  To the children who were able to demonstrate their learning and to the staff team team for their motivation and commitment to supporting children and families within our local community.  Well done everyone.

All schools and centres within NLC are closed today due to severe weather.

Please don’t make the necessary journey to travel to nursery today WEDNESDAY 28th FEBRUARY. Please keep an eye on social media for updates Thursday 29th February 2018.

Due to the severe weather warning please keep an eye on NLC Facebook, Twitter and Website for closures. In the first instance I would ask that you telephone the nursery prior to setting off in the morning to ensure that all staff have arrived safely in their commute to work.

Due to inclement weather we do not have enough staff in attendance to offer sessions to children today.

The Co-op Local Community Fund is now open for members to choose and give their 1% to Shotts Family Learning Centre. This funding period is for 11 months until the 27 October 2018.
